KEY EMPLOYEE CHANGE IN CONTROL

TRANSITION COMPENSATION PLAN

ARTICLE 1

PURPOSE AND TERM

1.1 Purpose. Knology, Inc. (the “Company”) established this Knology, Inc. Key Employee Change in Control Transition Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) in order to ensure continuity of management leading up to and following a potential Change in Control transaction, by mitigating anxiety an executive may have regarding his or her future employment due to a Change in Control, thereby encouraging executives responsible for negotiating potential transactions to do so with independence and objectivity. The Plan supersedes all written or unwritten severance plans, notice plans, practices or programs offered or established to participants by the Company providing severance pay or similar benefits. The Plan is intended to be a “welfare plan,” but not a “pension plan,” as defined in ERISA Sections 3(1) and 3(2), respectively, and the Company intends that the Plan comply with all applicable provisions of ERISA.

1.2 Term. The Plan shall generally be effective as of the Effective Date, subject to amendment from time to time in accordance with Section 7.2. The Plan shall continue until terminated pursuant to Article 7 of the Plan.

ARTICLE 4

TRANSITION COMPENSATION

4.1 Right to Transition Compensation.

(a) A Participant shall be entitled to receive from the Company Transition Compensation in the amount provided in Section 4.2 if, within the two-year period following a Change in Control, (i) the Participant’s employment with the Company or any Affiliate is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability) or (ii) the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Participant for Good Reason within a period of 180 days after the occurrence of the event giving rise to Good Reason.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Transition Compensation shall be provided to a Participant unless the Participant has executed and not revoked a Separation Agreement and General Release in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Release”) within the time period set forth in the Release.

4.2 Amount of Transition Compensation. If a Participant’s employment is terminated in circumstances entitling him or her to Transition Compensation as provided in Section 4.1, then:

(a) the Company shall pay to the Participant in a single lump sum cash payment on the 90th day after the Termination Date (or such later date as may be required by Section 8.3 of the Plan), the aggregate of the following amounts:

(i) a transition compensation payment equal to the Payment Multiple applicable to such Participant times the sum of (x) the Participant’s Base Salary as in effect at the Termination Date (but prior to any reduction if the termination is for Good Reason because of a reduction in Base Salary) and (y) the Participant’s Target Annual Bonus for the year in which the Termination Date occurs (but prior to any reduction if the termination is for Good Reason because of a reduction in Target Annual Bonus);

(ii) if the Participant elects to continue participation in any group medical, dental, vision and/or prescription drug plan benefits to which the Participant and/or the Participant’s eligible dependents would be entitled under Section 4980B of the Code (COBRA), then for a number of months equal to Health Benefits Continuation Period applicable to such Participant, the Company shall pay the excess of (x) the COBRA cost of such coverage over (y) the amount that the Participant would have had to pay for such coverage if he or she had remained employed during the Health Benefits Continuation Period and paid the active employee rate for such coverage, provided, however, that (A) if the Participant becomes eligible to receive group health benefits under a program of a subsequent employer or otherwise (including coverage available to the Participant’s spouse), the Company’s obligation to pay any portion of the cost of health coverage as described herein shall cease, except as otherwise provided by law; (B) the Health Benefits Continuation Period shall run concurrently with any period for which the Participant is

6

eligible to elect health coverage under COBRA; (C) the Company-paid portion of the monthly premium for such group health benefits, determined in accordance with Code Section 4980B and the regulations thereunder, shall be treated as taxable compensation by including such amount in the Participant’s income in accordance with applicable rules and regulations; (D) during the Health Benefits Continuation Period, the benefits provided in any one calendar year shall not affect the amount of benefits provided in any other calendar year (other than the effect of any overall coverage benefits under the applicable plans); (E) the reimbursement of an eligible taxable expense shall be made as soon as practicable but not later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred; and (F) the Participant’s rights pursuant to this Section 4.2(a)(ii) shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. If the Participant’s Health Benefits Continuation Period exceeds 18 months, then during the 19th month after the Termination Date, the Company shall pay to the Participant a lump sum cash payment equal to the applicable monthly premium under COBRA (less the 2% administrative fee and less the active-employee rate for such coverage), multiplied by the number of months remaining in the Health Benefits Continuation Period;

(b) for 12 months following the Termination Date, the Participant shall be eligible for outplacement services payable by the Company directly to a provider or providers designated by the Company or selected by the Participant and approved by the Company, provided, however, that the Participant must provide written notification to the Company within six months following the Termination Date of his or her intention to utilize such outplacement services. With respect to the benefits provided under this Section 4.2(b), the amount of benefits in any one calendar year shall not affect the amount of benefits provided in any other calendar year; the Company’s payment for the benefits shall be made on or before December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred; and the Participant’s rights shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit;

(c) all of the Participant’s equity or incentive awards outstanding on the Termination Date shall be governed by the plans under which they were granted and the agreements evidencing such awards; and

4.3 Annual Bonus for Year in Which a Change in Control Occurs. The annual cash incentive bonus for Participants for the year in which a Change in Control occurs shall be determined and paid as set forth in this Section 4.3. The amount of the bonus for each Participant shall be calculated and frozen as of the date of the Change in Control in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Participant’s pro rata Target Annual Bonus amount, or (ii) the amount determined by actual performance with respect to the applicable bonus plan performance metrics measured as of the end of the month immediately preceding the month in which the

7

Change in Control occurs (the “Derived Bonus Amount”). A Participant’s Derived Bonus Amount shall vest and become non forfeitable on the earlier of (x) the last day of the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurred, or (y) the Participant’s termination of employment due to death, Disability, termination by the Company without Cause or resignation for Good Reason (as applicable, the “Vesting Date”). The Derived Bonus Amount for each Participant shall be paid within 30 days after the applicable Vesting Date.

4.4 Full Settlement; No Mitigation. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for under this Plan and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Participant or others.

ARTICLE 5

EFFECT OF SECTIONS 280G AND 4999 OF THE CODE

5.1 Mandatory Reduction of Payments in Certain Events.

(a) Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then, prior to the making of any Payment to Executive, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the net benefit to Executive of the Payment after payment of the Excise Tax, to (ii) the net benefit to Executive if the Payment had been limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. If the amount calculated under (i) above is less than the amount calculated under (ii) above, then the Payment shall be limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax (the “Reduced Amount”). The reduction of the Payments due hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by first reducing cash Payments and then, to the extent necessary, reducing those Payments having the next highest ratio of Parachute Value to actual present value of such Payments as of the date of the Change in Control, as determined by the Determination Firm (as defined in Section 5.1(b) below). For purposes of this Article 5, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. For purposes of this Article 5, the “Parachute Value” of a Payment means the present value as of the date of the change of control of the portion of such Payment that constitutes a “parachute payment” under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, as determined by the Determination Firm for purposes of determining whether and to what extent the Excise Tax will apply to such Payment.

(b) The determination of whether an Excise Tax would be imposed, the amount of such Excise Tax, and the calculation of the amounts referred to Section 5(a)(i) and (ii) above shall be made by an independent, nationally recognized accounting firm or compensation consulting firm mutually acceptable to the Company and Executive (the “Determination Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations. Any determination by the Determination

8

Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Determination Firm hereunder, it is possible that Payments which Executive was entitled to, but did not receive pursuant to Section 5(a), could have been made without the imposition of the Excise Tax (“Underpayment”). In such event, the Determination Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive but no later than March 15 of the year after the year in which the Underpayment is determined to exist, which is when the legally binding right to such Underpayment arises.

(c) In the event that the provisions of Code Section 280G and 4999 or any successor provisions are repealed without succession, this Article 5 shall be of no further force or effect.

ARTICLE 6

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

6.1 Written Notice Required. Any purported termination of employment, whether by the Company or by the Participant, shall be communicated by written notice to the other (a “Notice of Termination”).

6.2 Termination Date. In the case of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s Termination Date shall be his or her date of death. In all other cases, the Participant’s Termination Date shall be the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein within 60 days after receipt of the Notice of Termination.

ARTICLE 7

DURATION, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION, CLAIMS

7.1 Duration. The Plan shall become effective as of the Effective Date, and shall continue until terminated by the Committee or the Board. Subject to Section 7.2, the Committee or the Board may terminate the Plan as of any date that is at least 12 months after the date of the Committee’s or the Board’s action. If any Participants become entitled to any payments or benefits hereunder during such 12-month period, this Plan shall continue in full force and effect and shall not terminate or expire with respect to such Participants until after all such Participants have received such payments and benefits in full.

7.2 Amendment and Termination. Subject to the following sentence, the Plan may be amended from time to time in any respect by the Committee or the Board; provided, however, that any amendment that would adversely affect the rights or potential rights of Participants shall not be effective for at least 12 months after the date of the Committee’s or the Board’s action; and, provided further, in the event that a Change in Control occurs within 12 months following an amendment to the Plan that would adversely affect the rights or potential rights of Participants, the amendment will not be effective. In anticipation of or in connection with or within three years following a Change in Control, the Plan shall not be subject to amendment, change, substitution, deletion, revocation or termination in any respect which adversely affects

9

the rights of Participants without the consent of each Participant so affected. For the avoidance of doubt, removal of a Participant as a Participant (other than as a result of the Participant ceasing to be an Employee) or any reduction in payments or benefits shall be deemed to be an amendment of the Plan which adversely affects the rights of the Participant.

7.3 Form of Amendment. The form of any amendment or termination of the Plan shall be a written instrument signed by a duly authorized officer or officers of the Company, certifying that the amendment or termination has been approved by the Committee or the Board. Subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2 above (i) an amendment of the Plan in accordance with the terms hereof shall automatically effect a corresponding amendment to all Participants’ rights and benefits hereunder, and (ii) a termination of the Plan shall in accordance with the terms hereof automatically effect a termination of all Participants’ rights and benefits hereunder.

7.4 Claims Procedure.

(a) A Participant may file a claim with respect to amounts asserted to be due hereunder by filing a written claim with the Committee specifying the nature of such claim in detail. The Committee shall notify the claimant within 60 days as to whether the claim is allowed or denied, unless the claimant receives written notice from the Committee prior to the end of the 60 day period stating that special circumstances require an extension of time for a decision on the claim, in which case the period shall be extended by an additional 60 days. Notice of the Committee’s decision shall be in writing, sent by mail to the Participant’s last known address and, if the claim is denied, such notice shall (i) state the specific reasons for denial, (ii) refer to the specific provisions of the Plan upon which such denial is based, and (iii) if applicable, describe any additional information or material necessary to perfect the claim, an explanation of why such information or material is necessary, and an explanation of the review procedure in Section 7.4(b).

(b) A claimant is entitled to request a review of any denial of his claim under Section 7.4(a). The request for review must be submitted to the Committee in writing within 60 days of mailing by the Committee of notice of the denial. Absent a request for review within the 60 day period, the claim will be deemed conclusively denied. The claimant or his representative shall be entitled to review all pertinent documents, and to submit issues and comments orally and in writing to the Committee. The review shall be conducted by the Committee, which shall afford the claimant a hearing and which shall render a decision in writing within 60 days of a request for a review, provided that, if the Committee determines prior to the end of such 60 day review period that special circumstances require an extension of time for the review and decision of the denial, the period for review and decision on the denial shall be extended by an additional 60 days. The claimant shall receive written notice of the Committee’s review decision, together with specific reasons for the decision and reference to the pertinent provisions of the Plan.

ARTICLE 8

CODE SECTION 409A

8.1 General. This Plan shall be interpreted and administered in a manner so that any amount or benefit payable hereunder shall be paid or provided in a manner that is either exempt from or compliant with the requirements Section 409A of the Code and applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder (and any applicable transition relief under Section 409A of the Code). Nevertheless, the tax treatment of the benefits provided under the Plan is not warranted or guaranteed. Neither the Company nor its directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by the Participant as a result of the application of Section 409A of the Code.

8.2 Definitional Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code (“Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation”) would otherwise be payable or distributable hereunder, or a different form of payment of such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation would be effected, by reason of a Change in Control or a Participant’s termination of employment, such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation will not be payable or distributable to the Participant, and/or such different form of payment will not be effected, by reason of such circumstance unless the circumstances giving rise to such Change in Control or termination of employment, as the case may be, meet any description or definition of “change in control event” or “separation from service”, as the case may be, in Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulations (without giving effect to any elective provisions that may be available under such definition). This provision does not prohibit the vesting of any Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation upon a Change in Control or termination of employment, however defined. If this provision prevents the payment or distribution of any Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation, such payment or distribution shall be made on the date, if any, on which an event occurs that constitutes a Section 409A-compliant “change in control event” or “separation from service”, as the case may be, or such later date as may be required by Section 8.3. If this provision prevents the application of a different form of payment of any amount or benefit, such payment shall be made in the same form as would have applied absent such designated event or circumstance.

8.3 Six-Month Delay Under Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code would otherwise be payable or distributable under this Plan by reason of a Participant’s separation from service during a period in which he is a Specified Employee (as defined below), then, subject to any permissible acceleration of payment by the Company under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) (domestic relations order), (j)(4)(iii) (conflicts of interest), or (j)(4)(vi) (payment of employment taxes):

(a) if the payment or distribution is payable in a lump sum, the Participant’s right to receive payment or distribution of such non-exempt deferred compensation will be delayed until the earlier of the Participant’s death or the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service; and

(b) if the payment or distribution is payable over time, the amount of such non-exempt deferred compensation that would otherwise be payable during the six-month period

11

immediately following the Participant’s separation from service will be accumulated and the Participant’s right to receive payment or distribution of such accumulated amount will be delayed until the earlier of the Participant’s death or the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service, whereupon the accumulated amount will be paid or distributed to the Participant and the normal payment or distribution schedule for any remaining payments or distributions will resume.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Specified Employee” has the meaning given such term in Code Section 409A and the final regulations thereunder (“Final 409A Regulations”), provided, however, that, as permitted in the Final 409A Regulations, the Company’s Specified Employees and its application of the six-month delay rule of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) shall be determined in accordance with rules adopted by the Board of Directors, which shall be applied consistently with respect to all nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements of the Company, including this Plan.

8.4 Treatment of Installment Payments. Each payment of termination benefits under Sections 4.3 or 4.4 of this Plan, including, without limitation, each installment payment, shall be considered a separate payment, as described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(2), for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

8.5 Timing of Release of Claims. Whenever in this Plan a payment or benefit is conditioned on the Participant’s execution of a release of claims, such release must be executed and all revocation periods shall have expired within ninety (90) days after the Termination Date; failing which such payment or benefit shall be forfeited. If such payment or benefit is exempt from Section 409A of the Code, the Company may elect to make or commence payment at any time during such 90-day period. If such payment or benefit constitutes Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation, then, (i) if such 90-day period begins and ends in a single calendar year, the Company may make or commence payment at any time during such period at its discretion, and (ii) if such 90-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in the next calendar year, the payment shall be made or commence during the second such calendar year, even if such signing and non-revocation of the release occur during the first such calendar year included within such 90-day period. In other words, a Participant is not permitted to influence the calendar year of payment of Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation based on the timing of signing the release.

8.6 Timing of Reimbursements and In-kind Benefits. If the Participant is entitled to be paid or reimbursed for any taxable expenses under this Plan, and such payments or reimbursements are includible in the Participant’s federal gross taxable income, the amount of such expenses reimbursable in any one calendar year shall not affect the amount reimbursable in any other calendar year, and the reimbursement of an eligible expense must be made no later than December 31 of the year after the year in which the expense was incurred. No right of the Participant to reimbursement of expenses under any Section of this Plan shall be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

8.7 Permitted Acceleration. The Company shall have the sole authority to make any accelerated distribution permissible under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4) to the Participant of deferred amounts, provided that such distribution meets the requirements of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4).

The Company shall reimburse all legal fees and related expenses (including the costs of experts, evidence and counsel) reasonably and in good faith incurred by a Participant if the Participant prevails on a material issue with respect to his or her claim for relief in an action by the Participant to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Plan. If a Participant is entitled to recover fees and expenses under this Section 9.1, the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made within 10 business days after delivery of the Participant’s respective written requests for payment accompanied with such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company reasonably may require, but in no event later than March 15 of the year after the year in which such rights are established.

This Plan does not constitute a contract of employment or impose on the Participant or the Company any obligation to retain the Participant as an Employee, to change the status of the Participant’s employment, or to change the Company’s policies regarding termination of employment.

9.3 Nature of Plan and Benefits. Participants and any other person who may have rights hereunder shall be mere unsecured general creditors of the Company with respect to Transition Compensation Benefits due hereunder, and all amounts (other than fully insured benefits) shall be payable from the general assets of the Company.

9.4 Withholding of Taxes. The Company may withhold from any amount payable or benefit provided under this Plan such Federal, state, local, foreign and other taxes as are required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

9.6 Validity and Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Plan, which shall remain in full force and effect, and any prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

9.7 Successors. This Plan shall bind any successor of or to the Company, its assets or its businesses (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be obligated under this Plan if no succession had taken place.

9.8 Assignment. This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by a Participant’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.
